TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
The First General Meeting Of the Year {
Very Interesting One.

The First General Meeting Of the Year .
Very Interesting One.
The first general meeting of the teachers
of our public schools for this year was held
yesterday afternoon in Clay grammar room
at 3 O'Clock. There was large attend.
auce and an encouraging interest mani
tested in all the exercises, which were in
terspcrsed by some enjoyable music fur
nished by pupils Of Clay school.
Superintendent Anderson congratulated
his teachers upon their apparent physical
recuperation and bnghtened looks, and
hoped that the coming year wouldEprove a
successful one. He then istroaaced Rev l..
W. Barr, Of the Third Presby tefian church,
who addressed the teachers on GLORY
in our Work and How to Win it" His
remarks were made very interesting by
pertinent and striking illustrations from
story and history. The teachers glory
should be in the fruits Of character build
ing. She should hold up before every pa-
pill, however dull, the infinite possibilities
Of future development. The most noted
men have frequently been the most stupid
in school, receiving the impetus 10 great
ness later in life. The teacher should keep
herself we'll infoI med in ORDER to impart
instruction properly. In ihis age OF won-
derful development she should not fall be-
hind the general progress Of mankind. She
should have the heroism that saves mems
souls and builds mp noble characters in
spite of all obstacles. Mr.. Bars remarks
were highly appreciated.
Miss Julia Wyiie, grammar teacher OF
Madison school, read a short but interest,"
ing paper on ''How to Keep Our Boys in
School" The remedy she prescribed is
the introduction of the workshop into our
system of public education, matter TO
which she has evidently given much
thought
The exercises of the day were closed by
paper on "Self-dependence" by Miss
Mary A. Baron, o: Richie school. Miss
Baron was of the opinion that the teacher
does too much work for the pupil, and
makes his path too smooth from the very
moment he enters school until he gradu-
ates. There was much that is true in her
remarks, which evidently set her hearsr, to
serious thoughts on the subject. Her pa
per was discussed by Rev. Mr. Barr and
Profs. Anderson and Crago.

The Type Set backwards.

OTTAWA, ILL, September 16.-Justice
Magruder received yesterday copy OF ,he
Milwaukee Daily Labor Rerieir, which has
the words Free Speech and Free Press"
inclosed in heavy black lines, the type
being set backwards. The headlines Law
and Order Triumphant-Society to be
Saved by Judicial Murder on November
H." were marked to attract the Judges
attention.
The decision OF the Anarchist case gives
entire satisfaction here. Everybody
breathes freer, and with the exception Of
perhaps dozen sympathizers with the
Socialists everybody says Justice has heen
done" The report that the case will be
taken TO the United States Supreme Court
does not meet with appreciation. Lawyers
generally think 1t will not be done.

The Missing AmethNHt.

New BEDFORD, MASS, September l6.-
Advices received from San Francisco state
that the fate of the missing whaler
Amethyst is settled. The mate Of
the sealing schooner, Angel Dolly,
recently arrived IL San Francisco
and reports that while cruising near Castle
Rock, a wreck was discovered on the ISL
and. 1t was found to be the Amethyst
broken IN two. Everything was in con-
fusion in the cabin. The whaling gear
was covered with rust, looking as
though it bad bsen lying thefe for
months. The captain of the Angel
Dolly made an entry in the log book and
the log book of the Amethyst was taken on
board. The Amethyst sailed in the spring
of 1886, was commanded by Capt. Cooley
an9 wa5 las: seep in the ice fields in June
1855. She was supposed to have Ga board
FIVE of the crew of the missing bark, Rain

thyst numbered 80 men, and their fate is
still mystery. She was valued OF $685.

THOUSANDS OF VICTIMS.
Gigantic Frauds Said to Have Been Per-

Gigantic Frauds Said To Have Been Per-
petrated by a Chicagon.
MONTGOMERY, n. Y, September 16.-
Probably one of the most gigantic frauds
ever perpetrated on the public has recently
been consummated by the publi.her of a
Chicago monthly medical Journal.
Three years ago this publisher made a
proposition to several thousand country
papers to insert his advertisement, in re-
turn for which he would send his paper
without charge rs a premium to all who
paid the country publishers years sub
scription in advance or otherwise.
Every publisher that accepted his offer
avai!ed himself of the privilege OF having
the monthly sent free to all his subscribers.
Three years passed ard it was then time to
spring the trap At the end OF the first
year the Chicago uan did not rease 10
send his paper TO all who were not wise
enough to have il stopped. When he sup
posed he had them between two and three
years in his debt he notified his subscrib-
ers by means Of blue envelopes from the
Chicago and Cook County Collective
Agency, 172 La Sale street, to pay immed-
lately from 81 to IS in order 10 save suit.
A large meeting was held here last even
ing by the blue envelope holders, who re-
solved to fight it out. It's said that New
burg was stuck for $40, 900, and how ex-
tensively the game was played through
the United States is yet to be ascertained.

Friends of the Condemned Mon "Must
Show Their Military Strength"
NEW YORK, September 16.-The news
of the affirmation OF the Supreme Court Of
illinois of the decision Of the lower Court
in the case of the condemned Chicago An
archists caused great excitement among
New York Socialists and Anarchists. Herr
Most was furious. His Anarchist paper,
the Freiheit, had just gone to press when
the news came. The forms were ordered
from the press. Most posted a notice saying
that he could not be interviewed, and
that the paper wonld be published con-
tanning an editorial on the matter. Most
write au editorial addressed ITO the work
ingmen Of all countries" The editorial
was a column aud half long. He char
aCterized the Judges who made the de-
csion as Infamous and bloodthirsty
fools, and the jury as corrupt NOyem-
ber II was the day set for the murder of
these "heroes" The capitalists wished to
see blood flow, to show the people that
they were the law and could do as they
pleased. "Workingmen, says he, will
you peaceably allow this to take place?
Allow the punishment Of the representa-
tives who have identified themselves
with your cause-these ideals of your
cass?" He asks that no stone be unturned
to assist the condemned The sacrifice
would strengthen the cause. The con-
demned MEL were the evangelist who had
preached to the workingmen. The cruel
deed of November II could be prevented
if the Anarchists so wished Working
men must show their military strength.
An indignation mass meeting must be held
ut once and money raised to fight the bat
tie OF justice and the salvation of the
martyrs. Most goes on to demand decis-
ion in the case from the T. S. Supreme
Court, and says that agitation meetings
should be held all over the country until
the Court dare declare the law consttu-
tional. The editorial closes with the fol-
lowing appeal:
THE question of their bloodshed is not
settled yet. Let every one do his duty
and it never will be. Life to the soldiers
hail the social revolution"
Editor S. Z. Schevitch, OF the Leader,
the recognized leader of the Socialistic
element in this city, hercely denounced
the affirmation of the verdict. He said that
as the principal in the crime had not been
apprehended, it was impossible to say what
motives actuated the man who threw the
bomb. And it could not be asserted that
the condemned men had any connection
with the killing of the policemen. A mass
meeting will be held in Union Square
next Monday night TO protest against the
hanging Of the condemned men.
